Machinist
Tar Inc
Mission
TAR’s mission is to power intelligence for the world. We are building the world’s first off-grid power plant for data centers powered by renewable technologies.
We firmly believe AI should be built in the US for the benefit of all people. For that, power must be fast, clean and scalable. We are singularly focused on delivering GW-scale power faster than anyone has ever done, by rethinking every layer of the stack.
We vertically integrate to solve every bottleneck, from racking systems to power electronics to dispatch algorithms to on-site construction.
Leave your mark on the future of civilization-scale energy infrastructure.
Company
TAR is both a hardware and software company, we are building out massive, critical, physical infrastructure. TAR is working directly with one of the largest compute providers to scale and deploy 5GWs by 2028.
We operate on…
-
High ownership. High Agency. Own project end-to-end. Great people don’t need to be managed.
-
Speed. We achieve great things on incredible timelines. We push ourselves to go faster.
-
First principles. No ego. No hierarchy. Challenge every assumption.
-
Passion. Solving the energy problem is one of the largest challenges that faces the world now and in the future.
About the role
We build robots, and robots need parts fast. This is a “shop tech manager” role with a requirement of operating a Tormach 1100MX. Operate and manage Tormach, ALD plasma table, hydraulic press brake, welding, general fabrication shop tools.
